YES, THE RANGE IS TOO BIG, BUT READ IT ALL TO UNDERSTAND.

Prices are fluctuating A LOT in the poker night 2 games. The only one which is settling down is the necronomicrown.

This is just a kickstart, and may get rejected, but we need to find a suitable price for these items.

I looked up tf2outpost and tf2bazaar for some offers, and they went crazily from 1-2 refined up to 6 - 6.5 keys.

I thought of making this item not that cheap FOR NOW, as they only have about 8800 in existance, and going up. So, just like it happens on newly-launched strange weapons, it should have a high price, and go down as time passes.

Considering the price of the game (US$5.00, if i'm not wrong [i bought it in another currency]) and the effort the player has to do (which is: play 1 hand, then make 3 challenges to try competing for it, and then winning the tournament), plus considering people trying to sell for 5-6 keys (Level 99 one, asked for lime summer shades), but also people trying to sell for 2 refined, plus considering the price and popularity of the necronomicrown (Samson skewer is way more popular), we can get somewhere. The range must be big though, because of these fluctuations.

I KNOW THAT SELLING ≠ SOLD. I JUST CANNOT FIND PROOF ENOUGH HERE. THAT'S BECAUSE: Stats.tf shows that only 18 of them (for now) have gift text, and only 3 were found in gifts, which means that ALMOST NO TRADES WERE COMPLETED YET. And that's why i'm releasing this.

    1-2 keys?

    And people are selling for refined?

    ...what

      Quicksells. People need the metals, and got the game just to sell the items. It would be more reasonable to buy keys instead :P

      I'm not willing to sell mine, i got the game to have fun.

        How can you quicksell an item that has no price?!

          People have no idea of how much it costs, and since they want to QUICKsell, they won't make searches like i did. so they make up a price and sell.

            Please just save yourself and close this suggestion.

              It's got to start from somewhere. Read it all.

      "but we need to find a suitable price for these items"

      > Or we can wait until it stabilizes soon.

      "ALMOST NO TRADES WERE COMPLETED YET"

      > So then why are we trying to pick a price?

        It somehow will stabilize, but we can speed up the stabilizing process by setting a main price to it. We will change this price anyway, it will go down.

        And almost no trades were completed, because there is no price set! People are lurking through tf2outpost to find someone which would make a reasonable price for it.

        Also, if you disagree with this price, Which price would you set then? AND, why didn't any past voting were actually accepted?

        You're feeding the recent suspicion that backpack.tf doesn't report prices, but set them.

        Stahp.

        STAHP.

        But seriously, with logic as your main support, you should close this.

          Yea, tf2 has no logic, agree with you on that point.

          Backpack.tf should be used as a base idea of how much the item is cost on the market. I'm just doing what backpack.tf is supposed to do, give a base idea on how much the item goes.

        Someone give me a TL;DR

          Someone is trying to use logic to price something.

            So vague that it's good!

              Thanks.


              Downvote.

                ^ Lol at this. And agreed, this is a terrible suggestion with it's proof being it's own counterproof.

            Gotta start somewhere, and this range seems decent compared to the price of the game. Upvote.

              :))))))))))

                the dapper disguise and the necronomicrown is 1.33-2 ref. I did 1.33-2ref for the Dapper Disguise and it got accepted after 3 days. 1.33-2ref should be the price. Downvote
